FMSAdmin 9 - Lost Password

[Terry J Fundak]

If the password for fmsadmin ( GUI and command line ) is lost, does anyone know where or how to reset it? without a re-install.

[Steven H. Blackwell]

You can do this, but it is very tricky. You must shut FMS down completely and then delete the entire contents of the FileMaker Server/Admin/Conf directory, but [color:red]not the directory itself. When you restart FMS you will have to go through the deployment assistant again.

Stopping FMS will be hard to do if you don't know the password.
